Bean common mosaic virus (BCMV) is causing economically important diseases in leguminous crops worldwide. In this study, BCMV isolates from country bean (CB; ), yard-long bean (YLB; ), and rajma bean (RB; ) collected from Bangladesh, Nepal, and Cambodia were characterized. Samples that tested positive for BCMV in serological assays were subjected to high-throughput sequencing to generate near-full-length genome sequences.

This study was undertaken to investigate the genetic diversity of bean common mosaic necrosis virus (BCMNV, genus , family ) in country beans. Leaf samples from country beans showing yellowing, vein banding, and mosaic symptoms were collected during field surveys between 2015 and 2019 cropping seasons from farmers' fields in different geographic regions.

During a survey of family-owned farms in April of 2014 in Barisal region of Bangladesh, we observed a farmer's field (0.

These seven viruses are classified in six different virus genera. Degenerate primers were designed based on the respective virus isolate sequence data available from the GenBank and were used for reliable detection of the different viruses by simplex- and mPCR.
